D + 2A + 3K + V = 16

Donkey + two aardvaks + three king size bottles of Vodka + video camera = 16 year stretch at Her Majesty's pleasure..

I worry about some of the people around here, I really do...

B

dont worry about me, mate.

perfectly sound.



Nurse...my prescription please...

Some of are feeling a bit clueless here Master B. There isn't much to grab onto.

Are the 'A's Aces and the 3Ks Kings? Is the V a virgin? And is sixteen the age of consent? Actually I think Livsy was probably closer.

OK, some more examples:

4V + K + D + 2A = 13
V + 3D + A + 2K = 15
K + 4D + 2A + 2V = 21
A + K + 2D + V = 12

Apologies if this is starting to look like an algebra textbook. There should be sufficient clues on site for you to solve this, by the way.

Its all worng, I tell you.

Makes no sense

Take me home.....

ok - that should be

with over 5,000 recommended entries and 3,000,000 posts I'm not surprised ~ alas I'm still in the dark

Given that the word "handicap" is in the title, and your announcement of your forthcoming project on Gambling, could it be something to do with horseracing.

Am I on the right track?

Or golf.

Sounds dicey to me.

Don't talk crap

Why ever not? It's one of the few languages I'm fluent in



I've been doing some maths and I think that 6K = 4V, if that helps anyone, well and good, if not, then suffer like I am

It looks like these aren't a consistent set of equations, in which case you can't assign fixed values to A,D,K,V.
You get somewhere close with K=3, V=1, D=0. Two equations then give A=3; the other three give A=8.
Or maybe I'm just crap at algebra.

We had mention of three kings and a virgin earlier - anything biblical?

There's a big wooden boat down the local scrappy, only one careful owner. Is that any use?

I think you'll also find Livzy's donkey and aardvarks mentioned in Leviticus somewhere.

"and he said unto them, come forth and bring thine donkeys and aardvarks. The Lord will provide the taping machine but thou must bring thine own lubricants"

Leviticus Ch 4 verse 12

I suppose mentioning the shepherds is a bad idea...

Are the words that letter corresponding to in english? (Assuming they do correspond to words)

will someone PLEASE solve it and then I can get back to inane ramblings about nothing in particular rather than keep coming back here and trying to solve the f***ing thing!!

You can make random comments while not solving it can't you?

There was a young man from nantucket...
